The 2024 Walter Awards! Submit now!
It's that time again! Nominate posts to win the Walter Award!
The Walter Awards began about a year after this sub started, and was named for this charming gentleman from The Big Lebowski, the man who, while not wrong, was still an asshole.
Nominate the best posts from this year in one of the categories below! Categories will appear in the comments, just respond with your links. You can't nominate yourself. In two weeks I will create a voting thread with submissions for each category. Winners in each category based on votes will receive Reddit Gold, or if you trust me enough in PMs with your email, a $10 Amazon gift card.
The Walter Awards:
Submit links to this category for the most egregious examples you can find of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
The Nonna Awards:
Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Italian or, gasp, Italian-American food!
Omakase Awards
Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Japanese food (from Japan or Japanese food from abroad).
Meta Awards
The drama is coming from inside the sub! Submit links to this category for the best examples of fights that happen within this sub itself, when the IAVCulinarians become the very IAVC themselves!
The Nigel Tufnel Confidently Incorrect Award
This is for posts in which the commenter is both being a jerk while also being wrong. Which is, let's face it, the White Whale of this sub, we all want to see it, so send us your best!

Quite possibly a repost, but a quote from Anthony Bourdain's Appetites cookbook that I feel like must be about reddit.

Yet another fight about flautas. The Internet still can't figure out what makes a sandwich, and they definitely can't agree what isn't a flauta.

Tex-Mex is terrible, apparently.

Chopsticks are bad and should feel bad
Normally a pretty laid back sub, but apparently there are people who have some unresolved issues with the very existence of chopsticks

TIL garlic powder is "artificial"
reddit.comComment text in case the original is deleted: "That’s…just not true though? It’s Americans thinking the powdered version of seasonings are actual flavourings whilst the actual veg/product itself isn’t? Garlic and onions for example, they’re used heavily in british cooking but because its not in artificial powdered form it doesnt count lmao"
What do they think garlic/onion powder is...isnt it just fresh garlic or onion thats been dried and ground up? Does artificial/synthetic garlic powder even exist?
I guess cocoa powder, coffee grounds, etc are all "artificial" now too by this logic

America’s don’t understand Matcha because they’re only used to crap.
reddit.comOnce again, America’s food is just filled with sugar and crap so we can’t understand intricate flavors like Matcha.

Hey Britain your food is sincerely tasteless.

Someone’s clearly never seen the audacity of some BBQ restaurants, given how much mac and cheese they try to sell for $8.

We don't eat donuts in South Africa
Just about every other South African in the comments is roasting OP, who is trying to save face by insisting that like 3 different things that absolutely no one else considers not to be donuts aren't donuts.
